Postgraduate Programme
For Men
Duration: 2 Years
The M.Sc. in Mathematics programme at SSSIHL is designed to build on students’ existing mathematical skills and allows them both broaden and deepen their understanding of the branches of mathematics which interest them most.
It offers students a comprehensive understanding of mathematics through fundamental courses in key areas such as Analysis, Algebra, Geometry, Differential Equations, Probability & Statistics, and Operations Research.
The programme includes software laboratory courses in the first two semesters to provide students with practical experience in programming languages.
In addition, the mini-project, term paper and dissertation components help students develop expertise and research skills in their specific areas of interest.
Specializations
The M.Sc. programme offers students the opportunity to customize their expertise with diverse specializations. They will take four mandatory electives (16 credits) in Year 2 (Semesters 1, 2 and 3) from any one of the following five Stream Cores:
- Computer Science
- Actuarial Science
- Industrial Mathematics and Scientific Computing
- Analysis and Applications
- Mathematical Biology
By choosing their preferred focus, they can tailor their academic journey to align with specific interests and career goals.
